Bad Girls (1999)

Episode Overview

After facing harsh criticism for her mistake last week, Sylvia blamed her neck injury for her poor performance and was subsequently assigned an exercise program. Meanwhile, Zandra learned she had low blood pressure and terrible vision following her fainting spell, leaving her to question the doctor’s competence and care. Barbara disclosed that she had been imprisoned for assisting her terminally ill husband in dying, expressing discomfort about sharing a room with a lesbian. Shell's grip on reality seemed to be slipping further, and she pressured Barbara into stealing a pen from art class to vandalize the wall with the words 'Fenner is a rapist.' Helen’s visit to Nikki shocked Sylvia, who was surprised when Nikki defended Barbara against Shell's claims of vandalism. Karen uncovered that Sylvia's neck injury wasn’t severe enough to warrant a neck collar, while Helen took on the role of head of the lifers unit.
